The Smartwool PhD Ski Ultra Light Socks provide you with the comfort and reliability of lightweight merino wool for warmer days, or those who don't want cushioning to get between them and their edging. With Smartwool's 4 degree Elite Fit System and Reliawool Technology, you're getting a sock that will stay up and protect your feet for seasons of abuse, where others slide into your boot and break down after too many trips through the washing machine. Do your feet a favor and throw on a pair of Smartwool Ultra Light ski socks.

I prefer a really thin, wool sock for skiing, and this one does the trick nicely. I have never had any issues with blistering or tightness, and after a whole season of using one pair of socks, they still don't have any holes. I did buy a second pair for a backup.

I would love these more if they didn't have to stick flowers and birds on them to make them ladylike. I adore Smartwool, but these were not terribly warm and all the lady patterning was a little much for my taste. I would have bought the men's version, but I'm a little foot.
